Well Zonk is known for dupes so I think I had a little more than a needle in a haystack of a chance:)

Microsoft Origami Unfolds

I had several more sites with loads of information for my version of this article. I event had a link for umpc.com which is a website created by Intel for the UMPC community and even has a web forum with development information.
According to the summary, the Sun's interior is 15 million degrees Fahrenheit. According to the article, it's 15 million degrees Kelvin which makes the Sun's interior actually 27 million degrees Fahrenheit.
Hard drives go at a certain speed. Adding NAND or more cache boosts speeds for transfering data because it's held in the Cache or NAND.
Am I the only one who thinks this is pointless? When writing this is delaying when data is committed to the hard drive but it gives the feeling that it's faster. I understand the point for reading but when I save a file to my hard drive, I want it committed immediately. I don't want it to "feel" faster because it's still in the cache and hasn't finished actually writting to the disk.
Am I the only one who thinks we should be focusing more on complete data storage solutions using solid state memory? It would give huge advantages over mechanical hard drives especially for laptop users.
I'm sure everyone has seen the movie Armageddon. Is drilling even an option in real life? Should we fire some nuclear warheads at it to try and change it's path?
I don't know much about the science of this but I have always been very interested in what we would do about this. I saw on the Discovery channel a long time ago that we could do something like shooting a laser at it to try and break it apart as well as some solar sails. They also mentioned placing some rockets on an astroid and moving it.
Now I'll be dead by the time this thing gets close enough. Should we just assume we'll have better technology then and fire some photon torpedos at it?
According to Microsoft, the requirements for Vista are almost as low of Windows XP, you just can't have all the pretty effects and such.
I was reading about Vista last night and it's including features like a revamped sleep mode which is a cross between standby and hibernation. They have have SmartFetch or whatever it's called so it knows what applications you typically use and at what times so it'll preload them into memory making it seem snappier.
All in all, it sounds like Vista will be a pretty good release (at least, in my opinion).
If Bit Torrent is of any example, this would be a bad idea. One day you may be able to get to Google fast and then the next, it may take forever to load.
Peer to Peer internet would be horrible. Not only would it be unreliable, but at time slow.
Sure some agencies can access our information because it's centralized, but if we don't want them to see something, it's not hard to encrypt it. Hell I'm even working on an encryption application.
Documentation would be more useful to me. If it only contains source code... well I can see lots of people using it for homework and copying and pasting. That or people who like to rip components from other applications for their app.
The companies like Verizon are already paid for their pipes. This would be like me charging someone for hosting their server and then getting upset that they're making money off my bandwidth and wanting to charge them more.
I hope this doesn't become law, otherwise this is going to hurt the entire internet in more ways than one.
Okay, now sometimes when I look at Slashdot I see the overlapping at the bottom. Othertimes (this seems completely random), it's a HUGE amount of extra black space.
Check out Slashdot itself. On Opera, Firefox, IE 5 and 6, it seems to render nicely. Check out Slashdot with IE7. A good chunk of the bottom overlaps all sorts of stuff. I can't read the last few lines of someone's reply if they're the last comment.
Also, my website www.binaryidiot.com renders perfectly with IE 5, 6, Opera, Firefox, Safari, Konquerer. In IE7, it places the add that should be on the right, between the navigation and the content. There is a HUGE space there.
For some reason I am also seeing a lot of horizontal scroll bars for many pages.
Looks like I'm going to need to make even MORE server side code to make sure IE7 works correctly.
This is very frustrating. I wish the rumour that Microsoft purchased Opera was real. At least then we'd have a decent browser to work with.
Another thing bothering me about IE7 is all the inconsistancy. Some back and forth icons, as well as the Favorites Center icon all have jaggies on them (these are seem even more with theming off) yet the icons on the right of the address bar look flawless.
Also, I'd say almost 100% of windows applications have a menu at the top. Does IE7? NO! You have the option for the class menu but then it places it between the address bar and the tabs. If you unlock the bars, you can't move it up or down. There is no setting to put it where it belongs and if you have theming on, it has some odd lines on it that don't do anything.
I fear for the web
No real reason. Just want to know if it can be done.
I do a lot of development work in both C++ and C# so if I could would with.Net and VS on Linux, I could finally move to Linux only.
What about higher end MS applications like VisualStudio or the.Net framework? How well do they perform with Wine/Cross-Over? What about Macromedia software?
I have noticed a lot of rumors stating there wasn't enough chips so they held back on releasing a couple of different things. Though, every rumor I've seen about it, even though they're all different, always comes to the conclusion of some sort of tablet.
Right now it's all speculation so it doesn't really matter because we'll probably never know.
Tiger Can Rotate the Screen As Well

iCell in the Works?

Another interesting development is, when Tiger originally came out, a new feature was added that no hardware currently takes advantage of. Tiger can rotate it's screen just like all other Table PCs and most PocketPCs.
Off hand I don't remember how to force it to do so, but Tiger does have this feature. Combined with the new trademark, we may see an Apple PDA and/or Tablet sometime this year.

Bah! The error in the summary is much larger than my error.

I think 10 years is about right?

Gentoo with the first ever Gentoo Linux LiveCD.
I have been installing Gentoo on multiple systems for years and I ALWAYS used their LiveCD. This is hardly the first ever LiveCD.
Over the past few years I have seen every hardware web site to one of these "budget boxes" every couple of months.
How is this news?
There's really only five versions, the other three are stripped down to comply with EU rulings or to (try to) thwart piracy.
No, there are 6 versions with 2 complying with the EU rulings.

last month i made $1800 with google
What websites are you putting ads on? I can't make more than $.50 a month and my site has been linked from slashdot several times.
Nope. It just replaces it which really pisses me off. I want my IE6 back for testing dammit!
There is no point in installing it anyway. It has toop many problems.
If you open up a QuickTab page, PNGs do not show themselves correctly.
To check, look at my site in QuickTabs (www.binaryidiot.com)

For what reason? I have installed SP2 on numerous XP machines with absolutely NO issues and it runs great.
